the one that got away. For both, perhaps?
“I raised it, blood,” Paltrow said on the Girl Boss Radio Podcast when host Sofia Amoruso mentioned Gwyneth’s great love for Gwyneth in 1994 playing his rogue wife on the set of the thriller Se7en.
When he won the Golden Globes with 12 monkeys in 1996, Pitt’s final thanks was reserved for “particularly for love, my life, my angel, Gwynes Paltrow.” They got engaged and even had matching haircuts, but they broke up in June 1997.
Paltrow told Diane Sawyer in 2003, “I’m so lucky to have spent time with someone who was very lucky, very good! Certainly, the relentless media attention peaked when long-lensed nude photos of the couple, taken while on vacation in the Caribbean, were taken online, but they really reached her.
“The inside stuff of my kind really stumbled through that whole relationship,” Paltrow said. “And I really felt responsible, and I also like myself to be the architect of my misery… I then caused a great deal of confusion.”
The actress told Howard Stern in 2015 that her beloved father, Bruce Paltrow, who passed away in 2002, “worshiped like a son.” But “I was such a kid. I was 22 when we met. He took me to 40 to get my head out of my ass. I can’t make that decision when you’re 22… I wasn’t ready and he was too good for me.”
Paltrow recently told the New York Times that she was not said to be suspected of Harvey Weinstein, a cereal predator she was dating Pitt about 20 years ago, and that Pitt had confronted Weinstein at a subsequent event, warning the producers that such a thing would never happen again. So at the time, more was being handled than Paltrow had publicly known for decades.
By the time of Sawyer’s sit-in, Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston. “We can look at each other, smile and wish each other well,” Paltrow said.
